NC State’s 34-27 victory over UCF in the Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl led all cable sports networks (and all of cable) on the day after Christmas with 3.268 million viewers and a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating.

It’s a bit apples-to-oranges, but Bitcoin St. Pete’s 2014 was up huge vs. Beef O’ Brady’s St Pete’s 2013 when Ohio vs. East Carolina mustered just 1.272 million viewers and a 0.3 adults 18-49 rating. But before the bank-hating, bitcoin-loving crowd high-fives itself, keep in mind last year’s game was on the Monday before Christmas (12/23) at 2p ET. This year’s game was on the Friday after Christmas with a primetime 8p start.

Rutgers victory over North Carolina in the Quick Lane Bowl averaged 2.969 million viewers and a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating.

Premier League action on NBCSN at 10am with Manchester United vs. New Castle United averaged 399,000 viewers and a 0.2 adults 18-49 rating. Arsenal vs. Queens Park Rangers averaged 443,000 and a 0.2 adults 18-49 rating. Chelsea vs. West Ham United at 7:30a ET averaged 191,000 and a 0.1 adults 18-49 rating.
